-There is no point in pretending that Ardour is a simple, easy to use
-program. The development group has worked hard to try to make simple
-things reasonably easy, common tasks quick, and hard and/or uncommon
-things possible. There is no doubt that we have more to do in this
-area, as well as polishing the user interface to improve its
-intuitiveness and work flow characteristics.

-At the same time, multi-track, multi-channel, non-linear,
-non-destructive audio editing is a far from simple process. Doing it
-right requires not only a good ear, but a solid appreciation of
-basic audio concepts and a robust mental model/metaphor of what you
-are doing. Ardour is not a simple "audio recorder"—you can
-certainly use it to record stereo (or even mono) material in a
-single track, but the program has been designed around much richer
-capabilities than this.
